Reading all your posts in this thread made me smile (except Sorta, what can we do for you sweetie?). Connie: I pray that he will be next to you when you celebrate the 100st Birthday! Soot: is WOM "woman of mine" ?

I smiled today when I got a phone call from a carrier asking when he may deliver the packet. Me: "what packet, I didn't order anything" He: "but your husband did". You know what? Hubby ordered a crosstrainer for me because I was moaning around that I'am getting fat because of the menopause. I decided I take is as husbandly thoughtfulness and not as an insult.... Midge will be very proud of me ...

Love!

Evelyne

Way to go Gimli, it's always best to decide to be flattered rather than insulted. He loves you so much he wants you to be a long time at his side. And yes, WOM is Woman of Mine. Sometimes I am also SWMBO, she who must be obeyed.

Mr. Cully was a great source of smiles yesterday. He loves Spiderman and we were all watching the latest movie. I looked over at him in his dad's lap, and there he was both arms extended and fingers curled shooting webs like mad.

Finally...a smile for me! Looked over last night at my Bubba cat indoorsie and he was all stretched out on the rocking chair (onto which I'd put a nice soft fleecy blankie) and was reaching out to me with one loooooong stretched leg. So cute. Guess he liked the warm cuddly place I'd made for him.

Walked by Ginny's house and saw her garage door open. Stopped and knocked. She said she knew it was open, that she and her therapist had just gotten through walking for a half hour on her driveway. Way to go Ginny.

I have yet to see her on her legs.

Like others, reading these posts definitely made me smile but my day started with a smile waking up to my new kitten, Sparky. I still call her new even though I've had her for 4 weeks now. She's 11 weeks old. If I watch her for 30 seconds I'm guaranteed she will do something goofy and hilarious...unless she is sleeping.

I also smiled when I met a co-worker from Ireland that I had only communicated with by email so far. I thrive on personal interaction with my co-workers and don't get nearly enough of it.

OK here's a big smile from me for today. Since they finished the sidewalks and resurfaced the street one block away that dead ends into my street, it's been sitting there with no markings (crosswalks, etc.) So today, there was a nice STOP painted on the pavement, AND here's the smile (actually laughing out loud) part: The guy who consistently parks his cement mixer and a huge truck with a cement pumper thingy on a trailer on that street, right at the corner will be growling for the rest of his life.

Because: The new markings included RED CURBS on every corner, and his 'private parking spot' is now shrunken to only enough for one small car. Ha. I'm so thrilled. He's been breaking the rules for over 3 years now and finally they 'get' him. Can't wait to see where his cement mixer and truck end up. Probably in front of one of his neighbor's houses.
